Agent skill
web3-testing
Test smart contracts comprehensively using Hardhat and Foundry with unit tests, integration tests, and mainnet forking. Use when testing Solidity contracts, setting up blockchain test suites, or validating DeFi protocols.

Web3 Smart Contract Testing
Master comprehensive testing strategies for smart contracts using Hardhat, Foundry, and advanced testing patterns.
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to web3 smart contract testing
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Use this skill when
- Writing unit tests for smart contracts
- Setting up integration test suites
- Performing gas optimization testing
- Fuzzing for edge cases
- Forking mainnet for realistic testing
- Automating test coverage reporting
- Verifying contracts on Etherscan

Unit Testing Patterns
const { expect } = require("chai");
const { ethers } = require("hardhat");
const {
loadFixture,
time,
} = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers");
describe("Token Contract", function () {
// Fixture for test setup
async function deployTokenFixture() {
const [owner, addr1, addr2] = await ethers.getSigners();
const Token = await ethers.getContractFactory("Token");
const token = await Token.deploy();
return { token, owner, addr1, addr2 };
}
describe("Deployment", function () {
it("Should set the right owner", async function () {
const { token, owner } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
expect(await token.owner()).to.equal(owner.address);
});
it("Should assign total supply to owner", async function () {
const { token, owner } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
const ownerBalance = await token.balanceOf(owner.address);
expect(await token.totalSupply()).to.equal(ownerBalance);
});
});
describe("Transactions", function () {
it("Should transfer tokens between accounts", async function () {
const { token, owner, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
await expect(token.transfer(addr1.address, 50)).to.changeTokenBalances(
token,
[owner, addr1],
[-50, 50],
);
});
it("Should fail if sender doesn't have enough tokens", async function () {
const { token, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
const initialBalance = await token.balanceOf(addr1.address);
await expect(
token.connect(addr1).transfer(owner.address, 1),
).to.be.revertedWith("Insufficient balance");
});
it("Should emit Transfer event", async function () {
const { token, owner, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
await expect(token.transfer(addr1.address, 50))
.to.emit(token, "Transfer")
.withArgs(owner.address, addr1.address, 50);
});
});
describe("Time-based tests", function () {
it("Should handle time-locked operations", async function () {
const { token } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
// Increase time by 1 day
await time.increase(86400);
// Test time-dependent functionality
});
});
describe("Gas optimization", function () {
it("Should use gas efficiently", async function () {
const { token } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);
const tx = await token.transfer(addr1.address, 100);
const receipt = await tx.wait();
expect(receipt.gasUsed).to.be.lessThan(50000);
});
});
